Reading Level of this Poem

Teachers may find this information useful. Please note that Lexile Measures are intended for prose, not poetry. So, technically, the
Lexile Measure of any poem should be NP (for non-prose).
Nevertheless, this information is frequently requested, so I provide the Lexile Measure for this poem as if it were prose. The Grade Level Average,
below, may be a more accurate guide to the reading level of this poem.
